Bug#1003911: RFA: xplanet -- planetary body renderer

[Steve McIntyre <steve@einval.com>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the xplanet package. I've not had any time to
work on the package for quite a while, so I'm hoping somebody else
will pick it up.

The package description is:
 Xplanet renders an image of a planet into an X window or a file. All
 of the major planets and most satellites can be drawn, and different
 map projections are also supported, including azimuthal, hemisphere,
 Lambert, Mercator, Mollweide, Peters, polyconic, and rectangular.
 .
 In order to run xplanet, you'll need at least one map file. Some maps
 are included in the xplanet-images package.
